Social Institutions as a Driver of Social Change
Captions available
The idea
A change in one social institution tends to produce changes across other institutions, since institutions are interdependent rather than isolated.
In practice
Industrialization's shift away from large farming families rippled into smaller families, new school calendars, and new government involvement in the economy.
Where people slip
This interdependence means an institutional reform aimed at one problem can produce unintended effects in institutions the reform never targeted.
